SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,765, dated February 26, 1889.

Application filed August 6, 1888. Serial No. 282,028. No model.)

Be itknown that I, EDWARD CHARLES BEAN, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residin g at Buckland, Portsmouth, county of Hants, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved manner of using two needles in one machine to enable two rows of lock-stitch sewing to be sewed at the same time.

To enable this invention to be properly uni (lei-stood, I will proceed to full describe the same with aid of the accompanying drawings, l

To (vZZ whom it may concern: l l

which show the invention applied to a machine of the Singer" type.

The same letters of reference are used to denote the same parts in all the views.

Figure l is a front elevation of head of mal chine arranged according to this invention i with view of usual shuttle arrangement; Fig. 2,21 side elevation of head and partial sectional longitudinal view of means for operating two shuttles simultaneously, taken at line X Y, Fig. 3; Fig. 3,21 partial plan view of table ol machine with special horizontallyplaced shuttle arr.-1ngements; Fig. l, a per-': spective view of work-plate Fig. 5,a detached v partial view of needle-bar; Fig. 6, a plan view of Fig. 5; Figs. 7 and 8, perspective and plan views, respectively, of presser-foot; Fig. 0, a view of a piece of material, as shown by this i machine, with two rows of stitching at the 5 same time. Q

A rc1i)resents a partial view of table of ma chine; B, the \\'orli-plate; the usual vertical shuttle-race; C, the shuttle-carrier; C the shuttle: l), a special shuttle-race placed horizontally; l), the slnittle-carrier; D the special. shuttle. The two shuttles D and C 5 are arranged at right angles to each other and work in opposite directions, as shown by arrows; D, guard-ring to retain shuttle D l in race; E, the usual shuttle driving shaft, 1 which, in accordance with this invention, is i titted with a bevel gear-wheel, F, attached to a boss-sleeve, F, made adjustable to podle-holder, to. a side-projecting screw-threaded stem, J to sition on shaft E by a set screw, W. This bevcl-wheel gears with another bevel-wheel, G, keyed on stud-shaft G, revolving in and held by a cross-bracket, H, attached to shuttlerace bed D. The top of shaft G is attached to slnittle-carrier D. The bed of shuttle-race D is attached to under side of table A, and must be arranged to be adjustable as to position. This adj ustability may be effected by the means shown in drawings at Fig. 3, consisting of screws D and slots D.

I I are the two needles, the former being the usual one and the latter the extra one; J, the needle-bar having a right-anglc slotted extension, J, to attach an additionalnee- This holder is made with enable the holder to be moved in slot nearer to or farther from the needle I, when it is secured by the nut on screw. \Vhen changing position of needle I, it will be at once understood that t-he shuttle-race bed D and wheel, F must be corresponding-l moved to suit the position of needle; K, the presser-foot bar; K, the foot. This is formed wit-h a slot, K to suit adj ustability of needle I. The plate B is also formed with a slot, L, in place of a hole, also to suit the adjustabilitv of the needle I.

The usual cottoirfeeding and take-up an rangements are duplicated to meet the requirements of the second needle.

l-l avin g fully described my invention, what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent of the United States is- 1. In a two-needle sewing-machine, the (:OllllilllllllOI], with the needle-operating mechanism of a two-needle sewing-machine and its two needles, of a shuttle-operating shaft carrying the usual shuttle for co-operating with one of the needles, a second shuttle arranged in aplane at right angles to the plane in which thefirst-named shuttle operates for Co operating with the second needle, and means for driving the second shuttle from the shuttleshaft, all. substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The combination, with the needle-operating mechanism of a two-needle sewing-machine and its two needles, of a shuttle-operating shaft carrying" the usual shuttle for 00- 5 operating with one of the needles, 3. second shuttle arranged at right angles to the firstnained shuttle for co-operating with the other needle, a spindle, G, on which said shuttle is mounted, a gear on said spindle, and a second IO gear on the shuttle-operating shaft and engaging with the first-named gear, all substanially as and for the purpose set forth.
